The Gondolas study I – pen, brush and ink, matted and framed
With this last maturday of the year, and what is to be the final one of the series, here is a look back at all the others since I began posting them every Saturday since the end of February. Do you have any favourites? I know I do.
Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and creative New Year.
Kitsilano in the snow #2, matted and framed
The evolution of this painting began a year ago after a heavy snowfall here in Vancouver, which I posted about in backdrop to a life: part 2. On January 8th it became my second painting of the year as you will have seen in my post second of the year.
Now, a year later and after my most recent post backdrop to a life revisited, it seemed time to get to work and put a mat and frame around it.
This week’s finial photo challenge of the year asks us…
“To celebrate the end of the year, share the most meaningful photo you’ve taken in 2017.”
Without a doubt this was one of my favourite and most meaningful photos of the year,
which I posted for International Women’s Day last March.
Take a look back at the UN Women’s web site and use this opportunity to read again their statement “Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030”.
A year ago almost to the day you may remember I posted backdrop to a life part 1 and part 2. This was in response to the Discover Challenge from the Daily Post: Finding Your Place, in which we are asked by Cheri to bring a place alive that means something to you.
Yesterday the snow returned to Vancouver and whilst not as heavy as last year my muse, Kitsilano Beach, became a winter wonderland once again.
Today the snow stopped, the sun shone and camera in hand how could I not venture out and capture it all.
Happy Holidays everyone.
